Test Mode Procedure

HINT: 

• After replacing the master cylinder solenoid and/or yaw rate and G sensor or performing a vehicle height adjustment, make sure to perform yaw rate and G sensor zero point calibration. Refer to CALIBRATION .
• If the engine switch is turned from on (IG) to on (ACC) or off during test mode (signal check), DTCs of the signal check function will be cleared.
• During test mode (signal check), the skid control ECU stores all DTCs of the test mode (signal check) function. By performing the test mode (signal check), the codes are cleared if normality is confirmed. The codes left over are the codes where an abnormality was found.

1. Turn the engine switch off.
2. Check that the steering wheel is centered and move the shift lever to P.
3. Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
   • SST: 09843-18040

   HINT: 

   • If the G sensor zero point calibration data is cleared, the ABS warning light comes on.
   • If the G sensor zero point calibration data is not cleared and the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) terminal circuit and the ABS warning light circuit.
